My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Chapter 214 HeartNet Market

Therefore, in the vast and boundless world of the gods, powerful forces capable of establishing and operating markets are extremely rare.

However, the market controlled by the Nine-Tailed Illusion Fox is a very special one – it is an unconventional type of market.

The so-called non-traditional market is a brand-new concept that breaks with convention and subverts the traditional face-to-face trading model.

The Nine-Tailed Illusionary Fox clan has ingeniously constructed a vast and boundless world of mental networks on the mysterious Sacred Fox Mountain.

This magical world of the Heart Net is like an invisible giant net, closely connecting every member of the Nine-Tailed Illusion Fox, and each member controls their own exclusive entrance to this strange world.

The MindNet world is like a virtual yet incredibly real cyberspace. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is intertwined with the real world yet forms its own independent entity.

Here, the market operates in exactly the same way as the currently popular online shopping.

Those who wish to trade only need to bring their desired items to the Nine-Tailed Illusion Fox clan to find the Nine-Tailed Illusion Foxes.

The Nine-Tailed Illusion Foxes possess an astonishing ability—they can easily draw a cultivator's subtle mental focus into their mental network world and skillfully conjure up the almost lifelike aura of the items being traded using illusion magic.

In this way, traders feel as if they are actually there, experiencing the presence of the traded items. If a trader develops a strong interest in a particular item and wishes to discuss it further, they can freely express their opinions in the mind network world.

The Nine-Tailed Fox acts as a trustworthy guarantor, ensuring the entire transaction is fair, just, and proceeds smoothly.

Once both parties have fully communicated and reached an agreement in the Mind Network world, the next crucial step is: in the real world, the Nine-Tailed Illusionary Fox will use its extraordinary supernatural abilities to quickly and safely transfer the traded items between them.

This transaction method, which transcends the boundaries between the virtual and the real world, is both highly efficient and convenient, and also full of fantastical elements.

It's worth mentioning that the Nine-Tailed Fox's Heart World Market is renowned not only for its highly secure trading environment but also for its relatively low fees.

However, the so-called "low price" is actually just a facade. The Nine-Tailed Illusion Fox clan has actually gained a lot of benefits through this innovative business model.

Someone has found the Nine-Tailed Illusion Fox and wants to make a mysterious deal with them.

According to the rules, traders must first present the items to be traded, which will then be subject to rigorous appraisal and in-depth analysis by the Nine-Tailed Illusion Fox clan.

Only in this way can these items, when transformed in the mind's eye, be so realistic that they are indistinguishable from the real thing, achieving an astonishing effect.

It should be noted that for the Nine-Tailed Illusion Fox clan, analyzing the unique aura emitted by various divine objects is of great benefit to their cultivation of illusion techniques.

Each successful analysis of the aura of a divine object allows them to advance further in the art of illusion.

Moreover, such transactions often easily arouse the seven emotions and six desires hidden deep within the practitioner's heart.

Once these auras are generated, they will be cleverly collected by the Mind Network World, becoming an indispensable aid on the cultivation path of the Nine-Tailed Illusionary Fox Clan.

It is precisely because of this that, over the years, the Nine-Tailed Illusionary Fox clan has become increasingly powerful, all thanks to the existence of that magical Heart Net world.

At this moment, Zhao Xuan took out the many exotic beasts he had captured along the way.

Among these strange beasts, there were four that had reached the level of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal! In addition, there were fifteen strange beasts at the level of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and nearly one hundred strange beasts at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal.

As for the strange beasts below the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, their numbers are numerous and countless.

Moreover, it even includes some young beasts that have not yet reached adulthood, as well as extremely precious alien beast eggs.

It is worth mentioning that among so many strange beasts, only one was captured by Zhao Xuan after going through great hardships in the Heavenly Witch God Realm. The rest were all discovered and captured by him and Zhao Gongming and the other three on their way to this place.

Back then, the group encountered countless attacks from strange beasts along their journey, but with their own outstanding strength and extraordinary courage, they eventually managed to capture all of them.

In particular, they encountered more than a dozen nests of underground beasts that rushed out of the ground to hunt.

The five of them meticulously planned and cleverly arranged their formations to break through the lair of these underground monsters in one fell swoop!

They not only obtained a large number of exotic beasts at different levels, but also some extremely precious cubs and exotic beast eggs.

Don't underestimate these seemingly weak young beasts and alien eggs.

It should be noted that once those underground beasts with chaotic bloodlines hatch and successfully emerge from their shells, their initial strength has already reached the level of a Golden Immortal!

Moreover, according to their normal growth trajectory, they will definitely be able to advance to the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal within a short period of ten thousand years; if given another hundred million years, they are even more likely to achieve the level of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal!

However, the idea that underground beasts with chaotic bloodlines can definitely cultivate into Grand Luo Golden Immortals within 100 million years is just an ideal situation.

In fact, the living environment of these underground beasts is extremely harsh!

Here, they face fierce battles of life and death almost constantly.

It is no exaggeration to say that even in a large herd of thousands of strange beasts, only a very few individuals could truly grow into a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Under normal circumstances, more than 80% of the mythical beasts will remain in a state of true spirit for a long time. They constantly oscillate between life and death—they can be resurrected after death, but die again soon after being resurrected.

Even worse, if a beast dies more than ten times, its originally noble bloodline level will inevitably drop.

After all, even the power of bloodlines containing boundless spirituality is unwilling to remain attached to those beasts that are like useless trash and unable to survive in such a cruel environment for long.

When a being with a Chaos-level bloodline dies more than twenty times, the spirituality within their bloodline will suffer a tremendous loss, causing their bloodline level to plummet and reduce to a level equivalent only to a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Once one's bloodline declines to this level, breaking through again becomes an almost impossible task.

Restoring the spirituality of a damaged bloodline requires tremendous effort, often consuming ten or even a hundred times more resources and time than before.

This is why, among the underground beast clans with chaotic bloodlines, the number of beasts that have truly reached the level of Grand Luo Golden Immortal is extremely small, while beasts at the Grand Luo Golden Immortal level occupy the mainstream position.

This phenomenon perfectly explains why young animals and unhatched alien eggs are extremely valuable—their potential has never been exhausted.

That said, the reason the three of them were able to encounter so many underground beasts so frequently was thanks to that mysterious divine realm that was still in its gestation stage.

The unique aura emanating from this newly formed divine realm acted as a powerful lure, attracting a large number of exotic beasts to flock there.

After all the strange beasts were captured, the five followed the clues and eventually found their lair.

Surprisingly, these strange beasts' lairs contained a considerable number of precious spiritual items.

These spiritual objects contain a rich spiritual essence of creation, which is insufficient even for Zhao Xuan's own use, let alone for trading.

However, despite the circumstances, when Zhao Xuan revealed the four exotic beasts at the level of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, the white fox still couldn't help but marvel at them repeatedly.

It should be noted that even the Nine-Tailed Illusionary Fox clan, which boasts over a dozen powerful beings at the level of Grand Luo Golden Immortals, rarely witnesses anyone using exotic beasts at the Grand Luo Golden Immortal level for trade!

While killing beasts at the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal is not difficult, successfully sealing and capturing them alive is an extremely difficult task.

The reason for this is that when these strange beasts face a critical moment of life and death, they tend to choose to self-destruct rather than be sealed and captured alive, and escape through their true spirit in order to seek a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, it is truly remarkable to be able to capture such a strange beast alive.

But by comparison, the value of that parasite was clearly much higher.

If it can be cultivated into a parasite at the level of a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal, then it can be inferred that the chaotic beast that is the object of the parasitism must have reached the level of a Primordial Taiji Grand Luo Golden Immortal or even higher.

If we can successfully capture and seal the parasitic beast that is parasitizing it and is at the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal, and then conduct in-depth analysis and research on it, we might be able to follow this clue and find some traces of aura related to the original body of the Chaos Beast.

Even though the massive amount of energy and matter within this chaotic beast has been continuously extracted by the world's origin, finding even a tiny bit of its flesh and blood would be an earth-shattering opportunity and a great blessing for cultivating war beasts and Gu worms.

However, the little white fox's current cultivation level is still insufficient, and it is really beyond its ability to completely analyze all the information of this strange beast and successfully transform it.

Zhao Xuan did not intend to offer any advice; he was simply conducting the transaction according to the standards for ordinary exotic beasts.

It's worth mentioning that the beast in front of them wasn't actually intact; Zhao Xuan had already quietly taken a pair of its wings and was preparing to conduct a detailed analysis.

So, what exactly is meant by Hunyuan? Here, we might as well quote the relevant explanation in the Heart Sutra: To reach the state of Hunyuan, one must achieve the three crucial points of "neither arising nor ceasing", "neither defiled nor pure", and "neither increasing nor decreasing".

This is why even the most advanced cultivators, such as the Great Luo Golden Immortals of Hunyuan or higher, consider every inch of their flesh and blood as rare and precious treasures to those cultivators below the Hunyuan realm.

However, no one would ever voluntarily extract their own essence and blood to give to their disciples for absorption and cultivation. The reason for this is that once this flesh and blood are separated from the body, they immediately lose all the mysteries contained within them.

This is due to the unique properties of Hunyuan. Unless someone can master an extremely powerful sealing technique, the effects of this Hunyuan characteristic can be effectively isolated.

However, the Chaos Beasts are completely different from other creatures.

In this vast and boundless world, there was not a single Great Dao that could contain the true spirit of the chaotic beast!

For this reason, compared to those cultivators who have achieved success by relying on the Great Dao of the World, the chaotic beasts' primordial characteristics are somewhat inferior.

However, this situation is not absolute. If cultivators from around the world rashly venture into the Chaos Land, they will also face the same predicament.

Based on this understanding, Zhao Xuan decisively took action, tearing off the parasite's vital pair of wings and carefully sealing and preserving them.

The reason for doing this is that the hybrid nature of the parasite itself is simply too difficult to support that unchanging and constant hybrid state.

After careful selection and weighing of options, Zhao Xuan finally succeeded in acquiring a series of valuable resources.

He obtained one of the strange beasts, which was powerful and had reached the level of a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

In addition, there are three groups of Golden Immortal-level Gu worms, each consisting of 1,296,000 Gu worms.

It's worth mentioning that although these Gu worms are only at the Golden Immortal level, their value is not to be underestimated. This is a massive swarm of over a million Gu worms; when their magical power is concentrated, its total strength even surpasses that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

What's even more astonishing is that the Gu worms possess a unique collective consciousness—no matter how many individuals are actually in the entire group, there is only one common consciousness directing and coordinating all actions.

In addition, Zhao Xuan also obtained a beast soul that had reached the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Of all the treasures acquired in the exchange, the three groups of Gu worms were undoubtedly the most precious.

After all, they are not only numerous, but also possess a strong sense of community, enabling them to unleash unimaginable combat power.

If these Gu worms are carefully trained and skillfully used to set up formations, the powerful destructive force that can be unleashed in an instant is absolutely enough to annihilate a super strong person at the level of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian!

Unfortunately, although these Gu worms are incredibly powerful, they are extremely unintelligent. It is virtually impossible for them to comprehend the profound and mysterious essence of the formation.

Therefore, people usually adopt a common method of using these Gu worms—refining them into their own bodies and infusing them with their own unique aura, so that these Gu worms gradually integrate into their own magical power.

The benefits of doing this are not limited to just one thing!

First, it can cause more wondrous changes to a cultivator's original magical power; second, these Gu worms integrated into the body can also act as a source of magical power, providing a continuous supply of backup power for the cultivator at any time.

In fact, the function of beast souls is roughly similar to that of Gu worms.

However, there are still some subtle differences between the two: Beast Souls must rely on Primordial Chaos level aura to be infected and refined, while Gu Worms are slightly easier to obtain, requiring only Daluo level aura to complete the infection and refinement process.

But no matter what, whether it's a Gu worm or a beast soul, as long as it's used properly, it can grant a cultivator terrifying combat power comparable to that of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal in a very short time!
